rphenix: I'm yet to find a router that works really well at everything. For a good modem I think draytek make okay gear. Wireless I prefer Buffalo/Uniden (can be flashed to openwrt for maximum flexibility) the Buffalo's have a 200mw built in amplifier in some models helps with signal strength in a more solid building. For VOIP I prefer a seperate ATA (Linksys SPA are good ATA's).
Currently Im using an older Alcatel Speedtouch in PPTP mode for adsl, Buffalo buffalo WHR-HP-54G for wireless, and to do the internet authentication via the speedtouch, and a Linksys SPA ATA.
I've had several Linksys routers plus installed untold to customers houses. Many Linksys routers seem to have poor thermodynamics, and tend to make "interesting" high pitch noises in some models. New ones I couldnt comment on so much as I've stopped buying them at all.
Dlink is junk in my opinion, havent liked dynalink since dial-up days. Netgear is okay for a "does everything" kind of router.
I recommend looking at a PRE-N router I've found they seem to help with wireless reliability even with 802G devices.
